The solution that I have in picture is just notify the team to wait for the fix then do the “pull —force”, because as you said it’s an important security fix then all will be sync and can work.

Unfortunately things like this (maybe not a .env file) but a hardcoded secret perhaps? might ever be committed and even pass a PR.

Mistakes are human, and agree once this happens you should notify the team and work on getting this sorted right away and make sure everyone is up to date in source again.
